The first Vidmar Memorial was held in 2–20 June 1969 in Ljubljana. In subsequent years the tournament has been held in several different Slovenian cities.[1]
The event in 1995 at Ptuj was a Zonal Tournament, with Stefan Kindermann who did win, Viktor Korchnoi, and Thomas Luther earning a spot to advance (due to the split of FIDE in 1993, the World Chess Championship cycles with Interzonals and Candidates Tournament collapsed).
